Did the Canyon this spring and I have to say it is real close to THE BEST multi-day I've ever done. The scale is indescribable! It is spectacularly beautiful and should be on everyone's bucket list. Get a permit, go with good people and have the best time of your life. You will never regret quitting your job and taking that month of your life to go do it. And yes, DRIVE there, sleep on the ground along the way. Beyond words. Thanks to all who went on this virgin run of mine, and thanks to those future friends and Canyon mates who'll be on the next!!
Cheers
